1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe objective of this study was to assess whether poor sleep is independently associated with cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

methodsA cross-sectional study was performed in subjects with T2DM aged between 40 and 80 years. Sleep assessment was achieved by actigraphy and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score.

resultsThe study population comprised 108 subjects with T2DM. The mean age was 64.9 years, the median diabetes duration was 6 years and 73.1% were men. No association was shown between sleep parameters as assessed by actigraphy and T2DM-associated micro- and macrovascular complications. However, sleep quality as assessed by PSQI was significantly associated with macrovascular disease in univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed red blood cell distribution width (RDW) (odds ratio (OR) 1.79, p=0.018) and good sleep quality (OR 0.35, p=0.017) to be independently associated. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.11, p=0.024), RDW (OR 1.95, p=0.007) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression score (OR 1.06, p=0.012] were independently associated with abnormal carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).

conclusionsPoor sleep quality and higher RDW levels are associated with macrovascular disease in a T2DM population. Increased BMI as well as depression also appear to have an independent role in subclinical atherosclerosis, as assessed by CIMT.
